Twitter is a far better social networking tool, as it allows its users to randomly find other users with specific interests – if someone twits about a subject they are obviously interested or involved with that subject matter. I’m running a digital guidebook business for outdoor adventure locations, and have found Twitter to be a very useful tool to link with like minded individuals and companies. http://twitter.com/VirtualOutdoor

Twitter has a 140 character limit and, as far as I know, doesn’t moderate people’s tweets. But yes, they are also wildly different. Twitter is just a subset of Facebook’s functionality (and user base).

Note that I almost missed the question — it hard to spot that question in the post above, broken up over 3 lines and wrapped around one of the pictures!
Ideas:
- bold the question itself, so it stands out more
- pose the question at the very beginning of the post, while you still have the attention of the reader (your target readers here are Facebook/Twitter users – people used to reading 140 character status updates, not 140+ word posts)
- ask the main question once again at the end and remind the reader his/her input is desired
